~Country Living~

The County Fair opens this week, just down the road from where we live. In honor of this event, I thought it appropriate to share a few rural scenes from around our county.

A Quiz

I have read Country Living Magazine since the early 1980’s, almost from the first edition. One of my favorite regular features is What is It? What is it Worth?

I am including photos of two farm implements. Do you know what they are?

I don’t need to know what they are worth.

The two leaning against the brick wall are priceless.

The other one is something J remembers fondly, from a wedding, in which he was an usher. Imagine, if you will, a much younger J, in a white sport coat. Perhaps he wore a pink carnation. Remember that song?

The wedding party, including bride and groom, in all their beautiful wedding attire, sat upon a conveyance, like this one, as they were driven to the reception. This was in a tiny village, not far from our town, many years before J and I met.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think of you.~John Wooden

It is only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, that we will begin to live each day to the fullest; as if it were the only one we had.~Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross~
